Half a year later.

The specially made alchemy furnace from the Artifact Refining Hall was delivered to Little Gu Feng.

This was personally refined by Master Yuyang of the Artifact Refining Hall.

A Double-Eared Purple Crystal Fragrance and Mist Pill Furnace, standing over ten feet tall.

Shen Xuan and Li Ruyi inspected the pill furnace three times.

After confirming there was no mistake.

They had Gu Jinqin contact the Array Hall.

To request an Array Master to install a Temperature Array and an Observation Array on the Purple Crystal Fragrance and Mist Pill Furnace.

Both arrays are Tier One Upper Grade arrays.

Improved by Shen Xuan from the Rao Family Array.

The principle is not complicated.

The challenge lies in the array materials, which require high-quality fire-resistant Profound Essence Silver.

Of course, this Tier Two Upper Grade material, while precious, is nothing significant for the Array Hall.

A Tier Two Array Master with the surname Xiao, along with four disciples, diligently installed the Temperature and Observation Arrays using large pieces of Profound Essence Silver.

Previously, Gu Jinqin had approached Master Tongxuan of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

To dispatch a construction team to lead a Tier Two Upper Grade Earth Fire to Little Gu Feng.

Setting up eight adjustable fire sprayers around the Purple Crystal Fragrance and Mist Pill Furnace.

Everything was ready.

Gu Jinqin directed over twenty members of the Yang Family to build the large alchemy workshop.

The Yang Family is the family of Master Gu Feng.

Under Master Gu Feng's guidance, twenty members of the family were carefully selected to handle tasks such as selecting herbs, controlling fire, solidifying pills, and security for the alchemy workshop.

On this day, the weather was bright and clear.

Master Gu Feng calculated with his fingers, determining it was an auspicious day.

All the direct disciples were present except for Yun Chixin, who was away, and Wen Luoying, who was in seclusion.

Shen Xuan, Gu Jinqin, Qin Yuehan, Wu Xueting, and Wu Yuting, the five direct disciples, were all present.

Six months ago, after the Wu sisters returned to Little Gu Feng.

They were fiercely scolded by Master Gu Feng.

They were grounded for a year, not allowed to go out.

Not even allowed to leave Little Gu Feng.

Otherwise, they would be expelled from the sect.

The Wu sisters, being ones who bullied the weak but feared the strong, dared not argue when the master was angry.

They stayed obediently in Little Gu Feng, assisting Gu Jinqin.

At this time, aside from Master Gu Feng and the direct disciples, the only ones present on Little Gu Feng were the Yang Family members.

The confidentiality was beyond doubt.

Shen Xuan, accompanied by Li Ruyi, circled the Purple Crystal Fragrance and Mist Pill Furnace seven or eight times.

Repeatedly checking.

The Earth Fire, arrays, and medicinal materials were all inspected several times.

"Master, we can start now!"

Master Gu Feng said in a deep voice, "Shen Xuan, do it well!"

Six months had passed.

Master Gu Feng became more and more invested in the large furnace refining.

Master Changsheng of the Spirit Pill Hall, Master Yuyang of the Artifact Refining Hall, and Master Chongxu of the Array Hall had noticeably changed their attitudes towards her.

These three were originally debt holders to Little Gu Feng.

They were usually difficult to deal with.

But this time, none of them troubled Gu Jinqin.

Moreover, aside from Master Chongxu, who was busy, sending trusted disciples.

The other two masters personally participated.

Such a formation is unusual!

Even Master Lingxiao, intentionally or unintentionally, asked about it.

This set off alarm bells in Master Gu Feng's heart.

The large furnace refining was presented to her by her third disciple, Shen Xuan.

In Master Gu Feng's heart, it had become her exclusive secret technique.

As long as a certain pill success rate could be ensured.

The profits would undoubtedly be considerable.

Otherwise, why would these masters be so invested!

At this moment, Master Gu Feng had to admit.

Shen Xuan was indeed a capable person.

Besides his talisman art, he seemed to know a bit about pill arrays and other techniques.

More talented than her as a master.

And judging by the attitudes of the senior brothers, the large furnace refining concept was feasible.

The key was to see the results.

"Master, rest assured!"

During this half-year, Shen Xuan was not idling.

On one hand, he was cultivating to stabilize his realm, refining the River and Sea Map.

On the other hand, he was helping Gu Jinqin push forward the large furnace refining.

Gu Jinqin handled external affairs, while he focused on the internal.

The pill furnace, Earth Fire, arrays, etc., were all made according to his design.

During this time, he and Li Ruyi repeatedly simulated.

Nothing could be guaranteed without risks.

But he was somewhat confident in refining the pills.

A regular pill furnace, one set of ingredients, valued at three hundred Spirit Stones, could yield up to eight pills.

As long as three ordinary grade Spirit Gathering Pills were obtained, it would break even.

Currently, Shen Xuan was using thirty sets of ingredients at once!

Valued at nine thousand Spirit Stones!

These medicinal materials were all borrowed from the Spirit Pill Hall by Gu Jinqin.

He himself had purchased quite a lot.

Investing a total of six hundred thousand Spirit Stones in succession.

Gu Jinqin followed by investing two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

To test the large furnace refining, they would definitely start with the sect's Spirit Pill Hall materials.

After the sect's Spirit Pill Hall materials were exhausted.

Their own materials could be cashed out at a high price.

"Everyone ready!"

At Shen Xuan's voice.

Over twenty Yang Family members stood up.

Sixteen of them, in pairs, guarded an Earth Fire sprayer each.

The remaining four were responsible for miscellaneous tasks.

"Open the furnace!"

Four Yang Family members opened the furnace lid.

Shen Xuan cast a spell, pouring thirty sets of medicinal materials into the Double-Eared Purple Crystal Fragrance and Mist Pill Furnace.

"Close the furnace!"

The furnace lid was sealed.

"Ignite!"

Eight Earth Fire sprayers simultaneously emitted Earth Fire.

The key to successful pill refining lies in the state of ingredient fusion, control of refining heat, and the timing for opening the furnace.

A Pill Master cannot guarantee profit from every batch.

If a batch yields three pills, it breaks even.

If it produces four or five pills, it signifies an experienced Pill Master.

The key to successful alchemy lies in the Pill Master's experience.

The more experience, the higher the number and quality of refined pills.

By Shen Xuan's side, there was such an experienced Tier Two Upper Grade Pill Master.

Li Ruyi had not yet solidified her form, unable to control physical objects at will.

Some deviations were inevitable.

But her alchemy skills and experience had recovered to eighty to ninety percent.

"Increase the Earth Fire to seventy degrees!"

Each Earth Fire sprayer was designed with an adjustable valve, measured in degrees.

The Yang Family members simultaneously increased the Earth Fire.

The Spirit Gathering Pill is a Tier Two Low Grade Spirit Pill.

The refining time is three days and nights.

Originally, it greatly consumed the Pill Master's spiritual power, physical strength, and divine soul.

At this moment, using eight Earth Fire Sprayers as a replacement.

Not only convenient, but the fire is more stable.

Time passed little by little.

On the third day, the medicinal materials fused and emitted waves of medicinal fragrance.

"Eighty degrees!"

Under Li Ruyi's reminder, Shen Xuan ordered to continue increasing the Earth Fire.

The entire pill furnace was enveloped by eight Earth Fires, and the fused medicinal liquid inside gradually condensed into a mass.

Shen Xuan and Li Ruyi didn't blink, staring at the Observation Array and Temperature Array.

Li Ruyi sensed that the medicinal liquid was about to reach its critical point and quickly signaled Shen Xuan.

"One hundred degrees! Turn it to the maximum!"

The Earth Fire immediately increased its intensity, the temperature inside the pill furnace soared, and the medicinal liquid formed a spherical solid under external pressure.

"Congeal!"

With Shen Xuan's shout, the spherical solid in the pill furnace rapidly cooled, forming Spirit Gathering Pills.

"Stop the fire!"

Shen Xuan let out a long sigh.

His gaze swept over one of the Yang family members who adjusted the Earth Fire.

In the Observation Array, indeed many Spirit Gathering Pills had formed in the pill furnace.

However, just now that Yang family member's action was a beat slow during the final pill solidification.

The effect was somewhat discounted.

How many pills were formed, and their quality, could only be known by opening the pill furnace.

"Senior brother, how did it go?"

Gu Jinqin hurriedly asked.

She invested much effort in this large furnace alchemy workshop.

Not only did she take credit in the Spirit Pill Hall, Artifact Refining Hall, Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, Array Hall, and other places.

She also followed Shen Xuan's lead, buying twenty thousand Spirit Stones' worth of primary materials for Spirit Gathering Pills.

"Wait until the Spirit Pills inside the furnace cool down."

"Oh, okay."

Not only Gu Jinqin.

Everyone present, with a look of anticipation, watched the pill furnace.

There contained their dreams of wealth and prosperity.

A stick of incense later.

Shen Xuan consulted Li Ruyi.

The two observed the Observation Array together.

Li Ruyi said, "You can open the furnace now!"

Shen Xuan shouted loudly, "Open the furnace!"

Four Yang family members lifted the cauldron lid.

Spiritual Light burst forth, waves of medicinal fragrance surged into the sky.

"The pills are formed!"

One of the Yang family members couldn't help but shout out.

"Let me!"

Gu Jinqin shot up and captured the Spirit Gathering Pills inside.

A large pile of Spirit Gathering Pills flew out.

"One, two, three..."

Gu Jinqin took out several large medicine bottles, counting and storing them inside as she went.

Soon, she finished processing all of them.

"Master, ninety-eight ordinary grade, seven good grade, and two excellent grade!"

Gu Jinqin shouted happily.

Shen Xuan frowned slightly.

The quantity and quality of the refined pills seemed noticeably low.

Such extensive efforts, earning only three thousand Spirit Stones per furnace.

Though it wasn't insignificant.

It wasn't quite satisfactory.

Master Gu Feng asked, "Shen Xuan, what do you think?"

"Reporting to Master, for a first alchemy attempt, having such results is already not bad."

"Oh. Is there room for improvement?"

Master Gu Feng seemed not very satisfied.

"Disciple is not skilled at alchemy, perhaps let Fellow Daoist Li take direct command."

"This way, without intermediate relay, we can better seize the moment."

For this first large furnace alchemy, Shen Xuan took the command to avoid letting Li Ruyi bear the responsibility.

If it failed, he would bear it alone.

If successful, then recommending Li Ruyi for a higher position was not too late.

After all, Li Ruyi was an outsider to the Sect and also a Nether Cultivator.

Master Gu Feng thoughtfully glanced at Li Ruyi.

"Fellow Daoist Li, shall I recommend you to Sect Leader Brother for the Honored Guest Elder position at Cyan Cloud Sect, willing?"

Li Ruyi was overjoyed, quickly bowed and saluted, "Thank you, True Master, for your support!"

She had some karma on her.

Not only Shen Xuan worried, but Li Ruyi herself also worried.

However, even if the past had a formidable enemy.

Gaining protection from Cyan Cloud Sect let her rest at ease.

No matter how formidable the past enemy, could they overpower Cyan Cloud Sect's five Golden Cores?

Not to mention, the main peak of Cyan Cloud Sect had a reclusive Nascent Soul True Monarch!

"Good."

Master Gu Feng again looked at Shen Xuan.

"Master, during the pill solidification, one Earth Fire was slow in response to commands."

Master Gu Feng noticed this too.

"Yang Mingchen, switch those four people."

"Yes."

The leading Yang family member switched the two who reacted slowly with the two guarding the cauldron lid.

"Master, I suggest everyone take a two-day break and try another batch the day after."

Master Gu Feng nodded and said, "Okay! Wu Xueting, Wu Mengting."

"Disciple here."

"You two, guard here, strictly forbid outsiders from entering or exiting. The others, go back and rest."

Guarding for three days and nights was ordinary for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

But it was quite exhausting for those Yang family members in Qi Cultivation Stage.

During these days of alchemy.

Little Gu Peak was sealed off to outsiders.

No one was allowed to enter.

After resting for two days.

Continue with large furnace alchemy.

This time, Shen Xuan and Li Ruyi exchanged roles as master and assistant.

He assisted Li Ruyi throughout.

The effect was immediate.

One hundred twenty-eight ordinary grade, seventeen good grade, four excellent grade.

After simple calculations.

This batch of spirit pills earned over eight thousand Spirit Stones net.

The benefits greatly increased!

Gu Jinqin, Qin Yuehan, Wu Xueting, Wu Yuting, and the Yang family members all cheered.

This was a tangible result!

One batch over eight thousand Spirit Stones, more than eighty thousand in a month, and a million in a year!

However, it was not just this.

As everyone's cooperation became more skilled.

The effect of large furnace alchemy improved.

By the seventh batch.

One hundred fifty-two ordinary grade, twenty-eight good grade, seven excellent grade.

Achieving an eighty percent pill success rate!

One batch earning over thirteen thousand Spirit Stones net.

Moreover, the quantity of good grade pills also increased.

This meant countless Spirit Stones were flying towards Little Gu Peak.

But, could Little Gu Peak handle such immense wealth?
